Continuing off this tweet about putting 3 gigs of ram in my Macbook, it’s true the Macbook does support more than 2 gigs of RAM.
I want to check to see if 4 gigs will show up but I don’t have the time right now, maybe tonight when my systems are down.
You’ll notice in the image that the Apple is either wrong (which I doubt) or just misleading the consumer.
*The highlighted red portion is taken from the Macbook Pro specs to compare.
The specs are simply misleading. Although there could be an actual RAM module that supports 4gbs, leading to the Macbook Pro supporting 8 gigs total while the Macbook supports 4 but I doubt that was their intent.
Because during the checkout process you’re faced with a limit on the Macbook of a 2GBs upgrade,
while the Macbook Pro has the limit of a 4gbs upgrade.
It looks to me their trying to force the prosumer to purchase the pro model by misleading them to believe the Macbook only supports 2gbs of RAM. They sure fooled me because when I bought my Macbook I stressed over that 2gb limit. And I only tried the 2gb chip upgrade because I was about to upgrade the Pro to 4gbs and my macbook was off just sitting there.
Shame on you Apple even though it’s not any worse than a phone without physical keys.
